DiggEver lost the TV remote and wondered why on earth the TV makers can’t just make it big enough not to slip down the side of the couch? Ever wished you could watch something on TV, but browse other channels at the same time? Ericsson may have a fix for both of those problems with its cool tablet remote concept, live on display in Singapore’s CommunicAsia.
With tablets being all the rage of late, and TV never going out of fashion, Ericsson’s concept seems to tune in to the average consumer’s needs, and appeals to the geek in all of us.
Check out the video below to see the remote in action

I miss the days when phones had an infrared port, and you just installed a free little app that could control just about any TV/DVD/etc instantly. Was especially fun turning off the TVs at McDonalds and Harvey Norman.
Somehow that got lost in the progress, now we’re surprised when someone “invents” it again.
TVs, Xbox360s, etc all still use infra-red receivers for remotes.. surely it’s not hard to combine a micro infra-red transmitter into our smartphones and throw a little app in the respective app store.
